Stop At: Saintsbury Winery
1500 Los Carneros Ave, Napa, California
1. Wildcat & Petaluma Gap “To the west, Wildcat Vineyard sits high above the bay, perched where the fog rolls in like a tide. The red soils here are iron-rich and volcanic—nutrient-poor but full of character. Each vine fights to survive, digging deep through fractured stone, yielding small berries packed with flavor. The cool marine winds of the Petaluma Gap slow the ripening, locking in brightness and structure. It’s a place of tension—between sun and fog, struggle and reward—and you can taste it in every sip.”

Stop At: Stanly Ranch, Auberge Resorts Collection
200 Stanly Crossroad, Napa, CA 94559
“Our first Pinot comes from Stanly Ranch, tucked into the base of Mount Veeder—where ancient seafloor was pushed sky-high by tectonic forces. You’ll still find seashells in the soil of the mountain top vineyards, a reminder that this entire valley was once under water. Over millions of years, those same forces helped shape the ‘Cabernet mud’ that formed our wetlands. The wine? Vibrant and earthy, with a quiet strength that reflects the bones of the mountain.”

Stop At: Napa Sonoma Marsh

Wappo Indians + Legacy of the Land “Long before wine, there were arrowheads. The Wappo Indians shaped this valley, carving obsidian into sharp tools—drawn from the same volcanic veins that now give birth to vines. People come and go, but the land remembers. Arrowheads gave way to wineglasses, but the story remains the same: this land shapes what we create, and we shape what we leave behind. From Gold Rush grit to riverfront sips—cheers to the next chapter in Napa’s story. You’re now a part of it.”

Stop At: Carneros Wine Company
1134 Dealy Ln, Napa, California
We’re paddling along the seam where the Napa River Valley meets the estuary. Look north and you’ll see the Vaca Range—the ridgeline stretching east to west, marking the valley’s edge. As the valley turns west, ocean wind rushing through the Petaluma Gap can’t follow. Like water swirling around a rock, the wind eddies here, cooling the land below. That breeze shapes the wine. Downriver, it’s cooler—perfect for crisp whites and pinot noir. Upriver, where the wind can’t reach, it’s warmer—ideal for Cabernet, Merlot, and Zinfandel. The river doesn’t just shape the land—it shapes the flavor of Napa.”

Cabernet Mud What you’re looking at? That’s Cabernet mud. All that fancy vineyard topsoil from upvalley got washed down here by flood after flood—millions of years of Napa’s best dirt, now right under your kayak. We like to say these wetlands are made of Cabernet. Not exactly the tasting note you’re looking for… unless you’re a duck. In winemaking, mud’s what you find at the bottom of the barrel. Sommeliers might turn up their noses—but the ducks? They think it’s vintage.”
